I don't believe so. You don't get the card info from the form, you only get the generated tokens. I could be wrong, but I believe that's how it works.

That's fundamentally a big part of the point: you never directly handle any payment info, which frees you from most of the tremendous liability and security concerns that come with directly handling payment info.

Indeed. And with the upcoming stricter EU laws on data handling, I think this is a big plus.

Nope. I'm prety sure that's completely intentional, both for security reasons and for branding reasons (e.g. anybody using a Stripe form knows that the website they're on can't actually see their payment info).

I think the css for the different forms can be found here: https://github.com/stripe/elements-examples
